Top Pro

Can be positioned easily

The power cord of The Moccamaster is considerably longer than those of most coffee makers. This allows you to reach the outlet from anywhere on your counter-top or in the kitchen. See More

Top Con

Not completely free of harmful substances

This coffee maker has a few plastic parts containing BPA, which can be a deal breaker for people who want their appliances to be completely free of harmful substances. Fortunately, these parts never touch the water or the coffee grounds, so you won't ever need to worry about any BPA ending up in your coffee. See More

Specs

Programmable timer:No

For strong coffee:Yes

Brewing capacity:10

Top Pro

You won't need a specialized coffee grinder

The Moccamaster is best used with medium ground coffee, allowing you to choose almost any burr grinder to go along with it. This is because most burr grinders can produce very consistent medium grinds. See More

Top Con

Need to be careful when handling the glass carafe

The glass carafe is very frail and a strong enough tap on the counter will make it crack. You also have to pour the coffee carefully, so the coffee doesn't spill over the sides. See More

Top Pro

Helps you avoid heat damage

This coffee maker's hotplate switches off automatically after 1 hour and 40 minutes, preventing burned coffee. Additionally, if the water tank is empty, the float switch will keep the water heater from turning on and damaging itself. See More

Top Pro

Keeps the brewed coffee at an optimal temperature

The Moccamaster uses a hotplate, which keeps the brewed coffee warm and ready for drinking. You can set it to either 175º F or 185º F (for those who prefer it hot). See More

Top Pro

Stylish design

Stylish minimalist semi-retro design. See More

Top Pro

Great for coffee connoisseurs

The Mocaster operates at 196–205º F, allowing it to extract the best possible flavor from your ground coffee. The extraction is further improved by the per-immersion drip-style system, which helps the coffee bloom. This creates a drink that has a deep flavor and feels very smooth to drink, but isn't overpowering. See More

Top Pro

Has a grinder

With this machine, you'll not have to spend the extra money on buying a grinder since the brewer comes with an integrated grinder. See More

Top Con

Difficult to visually determine how much coffee is in the thermal carafe

The thermal carafe is not transparent and has no viewing window, making it difficult to visually determine how much coffee is left. Switching to a glass (or non-thermal) carafe isn't ideal because of the hot plate — it shuts off after the coffee is done brewing, so the coffee won't stay warm in non-thermal carafes. See More
